there was talk that I backed [Mahmudullah] Riyad bhai when I was the captain to get him into the team, which is absurd. No one can do that when you are playing for your country. I always try to be honest with myself.
Yes, I expressed my belief in some players during their bad patches. There was even a period when people wanted to drop Tamim Iqbal. I said that we are not going to get a player like Tamim in decades and he too will admit what I did for him. You won't have alternatives for players like Tamim or Riyad bhai.

Putting riyad in the same sentence as tamim or you? Bias detected. you have two double centuries in test in span of like 3 years or so. The BATSMAN you are backing barely ONLY has 2 centuries (high Strike Rate) over the span of 10 years playing pretty much most of the test matches.
Judge him properly please, otherwise, it's just verbal denial - not in actual thoughts.
